It may be that the web cite you were looking for required version six of
IE. If so, this could be part of the problem since BN uses version 4.1 I
believe.

Hi List,
I decided to go on an exciting search to determine whether "Royal
Puddings" were still on the market here in the United States. I use to
hear their ads on the radio when I was a small boy! I heard these ads
much later when I listened to some Old Time Radio Programs. I did the
google search and found a company called "Jelsert" bought this brand back
in 2,000 along with another brand of puddings I never heard about
before. I went to www.jelsert.com after a few tries with the google
search and learned all kinds of interesting information. I enjoyed very
much using my BN to navigate their site. I decided to check out an
obvious competitor to compare what information I would receive on the
jello brand of puddings. That took some doing! I could go to
www.kraftfoods.com with JFW and internet Explorer on my PC and find the
information I wanted very easily! The Braillenote is another matter
however. It won't go to www.kraftfoods.com. It simply locked up, or the
display would show 95 percent while the BN beeped indefinitely! I even
paid a visit to mother nature to see whether the page would show on the BN
after I returned! It wouldn't! I decided to try to link up through
Google to see whether I could get right to the same information. I was
close to what I was looking for but I couldn't find the same exact page I
found earlier in the day with Explorer and JFW. I managed to get
www.kraft.com with my BN and everything locked up when I pointed to the
"jello" brand.
I'm wondering why this happens? Is there not enough memory in the BN for
some sites? Is it due to graphics? What is preventing the BN from going
on some sites and not others? There is a site which intersepts my spam
mail for me, www.postini.com. My BN won't allow me to log onto this
site. I need to work it with JFW and internet explorer.
Needless to say there are more brands of pudding out there than I'll ever
sample in my lifetime! Most amazing! If you can give me an answer as to
why the BN locks up on some sites and not others, please pass your
observations here! If you wish to discuss puddings, please write me off list!
Do have a wonderful braillenote, Voicenote day!
